2019-20 Game Thread: Knicks @ Wizards

In this time of stress, fear and pain we should all take a deep breath and reflect on the fact that Marcus Morris is hooting 28% from three for the Clippers.

It’s hilariously awesome.

Knew Your Nicks: We should sign him again on summer and trade him again next February for more picks!
That d be Epic!

We can sign him and sign THJr for the 3rd time!!

Morris fading was the most predictable event ever. No way was he ever going to sustain 45% from 3.

Also, from last thread, the Monty hall problem has nothing to do with picking twice.

Early Bird: We can sign him and sign THJr for the 3rd time!!

LoL
Back to back ! Yeah

So Miller pulled all the starters because they played so badly. Fiz would never have done that. Go Miller.

Extend Frank quick!

these games should be cancelled or played in empty arenas

milo – are you being serious?

if not, good job…you fooled me – not exactly a spectacular or exceedingly difficult feat, but…

Extend Frank quick!

2 for 2 from downtown – oh yeah…

Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying
What you’re thinking of me.
I can see it your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes.
I’m happy knowin’ that you’re having my baby.
You’re the Frank I love and I love what it’s doin’ to you.

Bullets versus Knicks you shouldn’t have to do much to get an empty arena.

Frank Ntilikina has 3 made 3 pointers, 4 assists, and 1 steal through the first quarter, and he came off the bench.

What is going on?

How did Taj get fooled like that? Why is he leaving his feet from 30 feet away?
Where is Mitch?

So many questions…

>these games should be cancelled or played in empty arenas<

I agree,

I think empty arenas might be good enough if the economics and logistics of it can work. Perhaps a little less caution might be OK in some states with much less international travel, public transportation etc… but in the major cities it seems like a no brain decision to exercise much greater caution. Even in very low probability situations the downside of extra caution is minimal compared to the cost of a black swan event. And this doesn't even seem like a low probability outcome. We are almost certainly going to get a LOT more cases, unnecessary deaths, and overwhelmed hospitals by being careless.

For a while, the number of corona virus cases will depend on many test kits are available.

yeah there is plenty we don’t know. but the risk-reward seems insanely obvious. flatten the curve if at all possible. preserve healthcare resources. protect seniors who themselves may not be voluntarily attending mass gatherings but suffer all the consequence risk. maybe it won’t matter. but i can’t even bring myself to watch, and i’m a true addict. in retrospect i don’t think we’ll understand this behavior. it’s just not much to sacrifice.

The governor of Ohio asked sports teams to play their games in the state in front of friends and family; the Blue Jackets and Columbus Crew basically told him to stick it.

>For a while, the number of corona virus cases will depend on many test kits are available.<

I'm retired. So I'm already in a kind of self imposed isolation most of the day binge watching "Better Call Saul", trying to play guitar well enough to not cause the neighbor's dog to howl, and looking through horse racing data. But my girlfriend is riding public transportation to the city daily and I'm not happy about it. I'm 61. If I get sick it may not end well.

I like that little down low pick and roll they’ve been doing.

And yes, fully on board with empty arenas. It’s ridiculous and negligently harmful nkt to.

frank styling and profiling on the trolls and the haters!

>Frank is making me extremely happy lately.<

It's starting to feel more likely he's going to figure it out and be a very useful player. We'll have more ups and down, but when he's playing well on offense and also playing good defense, he's kind of dreamy.

i’m sorry to hear that bob that’s terrible

>The guy from NJ that died today (John Brennan) was a 40 year friend of mine as a trainer in harness racing, He was working for the horseman’s association at Yonkers Raceway. There is a crapload of cases around New Rochelle.<

I read that story.

Do they have any idea how he came into contact with it?

Sad stuff. Condolences.

Some of the young fellas are getting better

70 points in a half.
Is this the All Star game?

Some of the young fellas are getting better

Maybe including Portis

COVID-19 SUCKS!

Frank Rules!

Sorry, bob. The scale of this thing hasn’t really sunk in for a lot of people yet, myself included, but that sure helps me understand what we’re up against.

This really isn’t the draft to be punting away pick position in, but hey who am I to say we should go against tradition?

sorry bob for being so careless with my words…last thing you need to read is some idiot saying things aren’t that bad, particularly when you’ve just lost a friend to that exact situation…

I watch Kevin Knox and Kevin Knox watches potential rebounds fall to the floor.

Julius Randle should not be in the game. The line up should be Frank, Reggie, RJ, Portis, and Mitch.

24 second shot clock with Mitchell Robinson and Reggie Bullock in the game and the best you can draw up is a post dump down to Bobby Portis.

Hubert,

No doubt the numbers likely are much higher.

As you know, it’s about 600 cases, it’s about 26 deaths, within our country. And had we not acted quickly, that number would have been substantially more. But we — we just had a meeting on stimulus, and you’ll be hearing about it soon. But it was a great meeting.

Well, I don’t think it’s a big deal — to get tested. I would do it. I don’t feel that — any reason. I feel extremely good. I feel very good. But I guess it’s not a big deal to get tested. And it’s something I would do.

But again, I spoke to the White House doctor — terrific guy, talented guy — he said he sees no reason to do it. There’s no symptoms, no anything.

I’ve been briefed on every contingency you can possibly imagine. Many contingencies. A lot of positive. Different numbers. All different numbers. Very large numbers. And some small numbers too, by the way.

Look, right now, I guess we’re at 26 deaths, and if you look at the flu — the flu, for this year — we’re at 8 mil- — we’re looking at 8,000 deaths. And, you know, hundreds of thousands of cases, but we have 8,000 deaths. So you have 8,000 versus 26 deaths, at this time.

With all of that being said, we’re taking this unbelievably seriously, and I think we’re doing a really good job.

Well, this was unexpected. This was something that came out of China, and it hit us and many other countries. You look at the numbers; I see the numbers with just by watching you folks. I see it — it’s over 100 different countries. And it hit the world.

And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.

We want to protect our shipping industry, our cruise industry, cruise ships. We want to protect our airline industry — very important. But everybody has to be vigilant and has to be careful.

But be calm. It’s really working out. And a lot of good things are going to happen.

Heh, and some of yall were worried we were gonna win this game…

Hey bob, I’m very sorry to hear about your friend. I used to go to Yonkers Raceway all the time as a kid when they used to have the Westchester County Fair there, so it kind of was like “wow” when you told that story. I also used to go to New Rochelle every now and then too.

I just had a debate with my fiancee about coronavirus: I don’t like to let fear rule my life, and I put a lot of stock into my faith. I’m personally grappling with whether shutting down all schools/colleges is prudent vs being too reactionary and fearful – although it is hard to ignore some of the numbers that are out there.
The men’s basketball team at the college I work at – ELAC – is going north to play in the State Championships. We just received word the site of the tournament is only allowing players, coaches, trainers and “essential personnel” into the arena. Our conference commissioner is trying to find out by tomorrow if sports information staff (like myself) will be considered “essential”.

I really want to go – this has been a special season, but beyond that, we’ve had great difficulty at the admin level this year and a State title would go a long way to sticking it to those who have been trying to tear our Athletics Department down. I totally understand measures taken to preserve life… it’s just that it would suck that all of this would happen in the year our team has their best shot to win their first ever state championship (and thus the most visible opportunity to validate the work we do in the department).

He just played his normal game?

“As you know, it’s about 600 cases, it’s about 26 deaths, within our country. And had we not acted quickly, that number would have been substantially more. But we — we just had a meeting on stimulus, and you’ll be hearing about it soon. But it was a great meeting.”

You realize your Orange Overlord was the first one to have the correct instincts here. When he imposed travel restrictions on Feb 2nd your side of the aisle was screaming ethnocentric racist.

Unfortunately that lying sack of shit Xi Jingpeng obfuscated the real seriousness of the problem in WuHan which began in December and of course the 35 year old “patient zero” came back from visiting family and returned to Washington on Jan 15 and was sick and in isolation by Jan 20th, but by that time he had infected others.

The Villain here is Xi Jingpeng. The only intelligent thing to do now is close international travel and self isolate til the virus runs its course.

Actually, the starters did it. They played too much iso ball and had too many turnovers. The second unit was better

Also, I will be referring to Frank Ntilikina as Frank Gilgeous-Alexander until further notice.

I am really going to be crushed when Frank crashes and burns the rest of the way. Love that kid. However much we are going to overpay him next year is not enough.

The Wizards defense is straight up garbage, but those are unusual numbers for Frank. It’s a good sign he can have a good offensive game against anyone, so I’ll take it, and the much needed L.

Well, apparently I missed The Frank Ntilikina Game.

At least until he’s playing against the Knicks one day and scores 38 points.

Frank Ntilikina is not the same basketball player at all. For instance, he doesn’t turn his back to his defenders anymore, he doesn’t pick up his dribble anymore, he drives into the paint more often, and he’s been taking a few more shots. A lot of his newfound confidence as a player is definitely stemming from his improved handle, and I like the player he’s growing into. Elfrid Payton isn’t a huge hurdle to clear, so if he continues to play decently and stay healthy, I think he gives himself a shot to at least be the 1st guard off the bench next year.

You will all be happy to know according to the Johns Hopkins website we now have 1020 diagnosed cases…..

I was actually thinking of you when I saw the background of the guy who passed, as I figured that you might have known him. Sorry for the loss of your friend.

One of our mutual friends goes back and forth to Italy about once a month…. I know he has self quarantined himself. He lives in Kew Gardens

did some reading and have a little better understanding of the situation…

seems the danger isn’t so much in the lethality of this particular virus, but, rather the increased contagious nature of the virus itself…

it spreads really easy…the number of affected people will be high…from what I read the folks most at risk are health care workers…which will lead to a situation of who takes care of the sick folks when the folks whom normally take care of the sick folks are sick themselves…

sports and business gatherings are one thing, no doubt the biggest petri dishes in existence our in the primary school system…some very tough decisions will need to be made fairly quickly…

I get it now, it’s a pay now or pay much more later scenario…

Hi, I’m Giovanni, from Italy. I bleed blue and orange, and I religiously read the blog every day, I never post anything, because my English isn’t that good and because I really like to read you guys, like feeling you’re some kind of family I never see but I learned to know and love.
I’m an Italian MD, and I can assure you the ccovid19 situation is really serious, if not tragic. None of us thought it would have gone that bad, that fast. Intensive care unit are really exploding, and soon we will have to decide who can live (most of the worst cases (not only ancient people, it really depends on genetic vulnerability) needs ventilatory assistance) and who dies. A few weeks ago we were arguing about playing or not soccer with empty stadiums, now SERIE A (the closest thing to a cult in Italy) is stopped, at least until the 3 of April.
The only way to contain the spreading of the disease is literally to stop all unnecessary public activities and to, when possible, self isolate, leaving behind any non necessary activity.
I’m posting this because I was reading about trump, numbers, etc, and USA is just starting to take the precautions we were taking 2 weeks ago, and weren’t nearly as useful. I think there’s a big risk in drafting because #pointzz, you have to look at evidence based developmental curves!
Sorry for my English, love to you all! (maybe now I’ll start to post and not only to read, but I really wanted to give you my 2cents about covid)
Ciao!

DR. Luca’s prescription….. take a couple of hours off and listen to some Puccini (Che Gelida Manina/ Quando M’en Vo/ O Soave Fanciulla) should do the trick…..

And call me in the morning…….

Mioz, thanks for posting. That was a great post.

Bidiong, where upstate are you? I felt nothing in the Catskills.

Thanks for the info, mioz and holy crap. I’m headed to the gym (well, training, only about 8 people) and I’m starting to freak out about it.

The smartest teams in the NBA are building themselves around spacing.

A lack of spacing makes it more difficult to penetrate, make plays, and finish.

Frank (and our other PGs and inside players) are playing on a team with very poor spacing.

On top of that, Frank is well known around the league to be passive and not a good shooter.

What we are seeing now in terms of his improved handle and penetration will probably take another step up if the team is just constructed better next year. It would take anther step up if he comes back next year with a better 3 point shot to go along with his better handle, better FT shooting, and increased confidence and aggression. There’s also no reason his handle can’t continue to improve also.

Next time he goes 1-7 and 0-4 from 3 with 1 assist or has a bad week, forget that nonsense.

It’s going to happen a lot more times. Just watch his game and skills. If those are improving, his bottom line will ultimately continue to improve, especially if we build a team that actually makes any sense.

That earthquake you felt was the Frank hive on Twitter discussing his 20-10 game last night. 🙂

“The real reason for optimism about Frank is his shooting form, which is excellent. It’s reflected in his high-80s FT% and there’s no inherent reason it shouldn’t continue to translate to his other shooting percentages.”

This (as I spout the “Optimist’s Creed”)

It is hard to Imagine a guy with a beautiful looking stroke and an excellent FT shooter won’t at some point be a decent shooter from depth at some point.

My original worry was he bounced the ball like a fing hand grenade but that seems to be greatly improved.

He’s a superior defender with an excellent BB IQ….he just needs a good sport’s psychologist or a sustained winning streak to get his inner scrotum working…. maybe a good blast of ICSH would work 🙂

Thanks for the great post Mioz and welcome aboard. I had breakfast this weekend with a woman who is in the middle of chemo and that really drove the point home to me. She was terrified.

I think there is something different about Frank right now. He seems to have just enough burst to get past people in the last couple of games I don’t know if it’s the groin or just a newfound aggression but he is finally beating people off the dribble in a way I haven’t seen him do. He also hit some shots last night he could have missed but whatever.

I am a Frank stan. He’s not a great player but rooting for him to improve (and for Mitch) is all I get from the Knicks right now.

I BELIEVE IN FRANK.

Frank has his best game as a pro. Mitch been playing better and more consistent. RJ still struggling with his shooting but not far removed from one of his best games as a pro. Even Knox showing signs of life.

Dare I say it. Is Mike Miller DEVELOPING our young players?

We drafted Frank at such a young age. A system player coming over from Europe at his age with the rawest offensive game imaginable. Then injury issues his second season. People writing him off were way too premature. This year he’s had some groin injuries but we are starting to see the confidence as he’s gotten to play consistent minutes over the course of the entire season. The improved handle, the ability to finish, the nice passes….and as always the smart and plus defense.

Is he still a good pick for the 8th pick? Honestly…maybe? If he’s a solid rotation player on a good team, that seems like a decent outcome.

I hope the new front office is noticing this and taking notes. Build around RJ and Mitch but maybe hold onto to Frank. We might be able to extend him for a very reasonable price since he’s still pretty inconsistent and hasn’t put up gawdy numbers yet. I just like the way he plays. If the outside shot starts falling, the math on him changes considerably.

Re: the draft, a lot of smart people are still saying Lamelo and Edwards are still the clear-cut top players despite their below-average numbers. If we get the #1 or 2, do you still go for them?

Edwards is a weird, scary prospect. He’s kind of like RJ with a more promising jump shot, but likely less well-rounded game. He’ll basically have to be a pretty good scorer to justify his draft position. He certainly can be, but he’d almost definitely be another frustrating, slow-developing rookie.

LaMelo seems a little safer to me. He’s got at least one very important skill that’s a mortal lock to translate–his passing.

I’d prefer Killian Hayes to both of them as of now. I just hope if LaMelo, Hayes, and Haliburton are off the board the Knicks have the guts to go BPA with someone like Okongwu instead of insisting on a point guard…like Cole Anthony.

arrow definitely pointing up on Frank – aggression and ability to get to the cup are clearly better over the last few weeks.

last 15 games (chose that because that’s the longest “n” game sample NBA stats site has), he’s played in 12 of them due to the groin. 57.3% TS, 13 points, 5.7 assists, 1.6 steals per 36 — not world beating numbers but solidly in the “useful player” category.

I’ll stop there before djphan blows up at me again =)

Mioz & Farfa stay strong and hang on.
Corona virus will probably test us all hard physically and psychologically.
Tanking ain’t an option on this one.

The problem is the last 20 games his TS% is 48.5% because of a horrendous stretch. LINK. The link also show his stats in 10 game increments; it does appear he’s trending in right direction.

The depressing part is Rose has not told Miller to give all of the minutes to Frank, Mitch, RJ, Dotson, Knox, DSJ. How hard is that? Every team in the league in Knicks situation does this. And it’s not just this season. Remember when the vets had to go to Hornacek and Phil to tell them to play the youth? What is it about the Knick culture?

Note: Concerning Knox, Knicks will have to decide whether to pick up his option in October. Shouldn’t his performance in substantial minutes the rest of this season inform that decision?

Regarding Covid, I watched this credentialed guy on Rogan pod who opened my eyes to just how bad this could get. First, this is not like sars where victims were not contagious until they showed symptoms. Covid’s got about a 4 day incubation period where victim shows no symptoms and is contagious during that time. Second, the main way Covid is spread is through breathing in the virus from the air, not via your hand touching your face. And surgical masks aren’t very effective – need a respirator. Third, warmer weather is not likely to affect the spread of the virus given the history of corona viruses.

My brother-in-law 2 or 3 weeks ago tried to coax me into going to two Knick games (free tickets). At the time, the Swiss had just issued a recommendation for people to not attend large gatherings. I told my brother-in-law that MSG constituted a large gathering and there were a lot of tourists at the games. I think my instincts turned out to be right after listening to the guy on Rogan. This virus is nothing to sneeze at.

A woman who lives inside the containment zone in New Rochelle just .2 miles from the synagogue at the center of the Coronavirus cluster just called into

Someone in her household is exhibiting flu-like systems, but can’t get a Coronavirus test.

Katrina levels of fucked, Brownie

It's probably mostly handle and aggression, but I think he's also changing speed and direction better.

I used to worry about his speed and first step a bit more because people kept pointing it out and I could visually see they were right. But after watching Donic kill people every night with his handle and change of speed/direction despite probably being as slow or even slower than Frank, there's clearly more to it than being as fast as peak Rose or Wall. I think he's going to be fine if the improvements keep coming and he gets stronger. At this stage, it doesn't even look like a major issue anymore. It's a matter of how far he can go. It's still his shot that's going to take time. It may never be as good as we'd like, but even even there it doesn't look broken. We can't know, but there are reasons for optimism.

Dare I say it. Is Mike Miller DEVELOPING our young players?

I think it was Z man who lobbied hard from the jump that Frank would have benefited from an early stint in the G league. Mike Miller just might have turned him into something?

And we’re 11 days behind Italy, I think.

Man I’d like to see Miller and Atkinson next year.

I’ve been treating MSG like there’s been a coronavirus outbreak for 8+ years now.

A Knicks game SHOULD be the safest place to be during a pandemic.

How do we think KD will end up playing next year?

At the bare minimum this administration has been obviously downplaying the risk of this virus for political reasons. They were also slow-reacting to get tests available, they’re limiting the flow of information again for political reasons and they’re gaming the numbers to make the number of cases appear low.

It’s an epic failure of leadership and it’s not even smart on a political level. All of the happy talk is gonna look real silly a few weeks from now.

It’s impossible for me to reach any dependable conclusions without better data, and without going through the news archives for the cultural reaction to H1N1 (*) ten years ago. The reaction to this seems completely different and I can’t conclude that the difference is explainable by the different potency or lethality of the virus itself. It therefore must be something else.

As for Bernie and his supporters, the stark reality is that the virus and the cultural reaction torpedoed his candidacy. People want safety and security and the known under these kind of conditions which meant a quick Bye Bye Bernie.

(*) 61M Americans infected, 12,500 or so Americans died.

Dude, I know people are not logging into KB for COVID info, but it’s just not responsible to spread misinformation here.

I spread disinformation? I summarized what Rogan’s guest said. In contrast, you’re asking us to trust eternal optimist Dr Frank over the guy who has spent his life working in this area, the guy who is advising the White House, the guy who gave a talk to investors from 400 major institutions on Friday. This guy:

Michael Osterholm is an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology. He is Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, a professor in the Technological Leadership Institute, College of Science and Engineering, and an adjunct professor in the Medical School, all at the University of Minnesota. Look for his book “Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Deadly Germs”

Here are links to specific parts of the video where he talks about what I wrote:

https://youtu.be/E3URhJx0NSw?t=2593

https://youtu.be/E3URhJx0NSw?t=1929

@ James Bron – regardless of what you think my qualifications are (and I am a doctor, by the way), what you posted is not true, or at least goes counter to what the CDC and other public health organizations are saying. That’s not to say that the virus is not a very serious problem, and yes, this whole thing is likely to get worse before it gets better, but it truly is not thought to be an airborne virus.

Here is the CDC fact sheet: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html

And from the world health organization: https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses

And the European Center for Disease Prevention and control: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/novel-coronavirus-china/questions-answers

The CDC’s own guidance on healthcare settings: “Based on local and regional situational analysis of PPE supplies, facemasks are an acceptable alternative when the supply chain of respirators cannot meet the demand . During this time, available respirators should be prioritized for procedures that are likely to generate respiratory aerosols, which would pose the highest exposure risk to HCP.”
(PPE = personal protective equipment, HCP = health care providers)

And re: H1N1 — doing the math, if ~61MM Americans were infected and ~12000 died, that comes out to a mortality rate of 12000/61000000 = ~0.02% mortality, which is somewhere between 100x and 200x less lethal than COVID-19, so maybe that’s why there was so much less press about it. Plus the media environment is obviously different now, which was maybe your point.

I’m a bit behind in my TV watching and my Knickerbloggering, so forgive me if this has been discussed, but on Curb Your Enthusiasm last week Larry’s friend killed himself because of disappointment over being a Jets fan “and partly the Knicks too”.

Needless to say, I thought of y’all while laughing myself silly 🙂

(edit: sorry to post this in light of other posts on this thread dealing with actual loss of life during a serious time. Maybe not a great time to relay that joke. If Brian wants to delete it, I understand)

Bidiong, where upstate are you? I felt nothing in the Catskills.

Thanks for the info, mioz and holy crap. I’m headed to the gym (well, training, only about 8 people) and I’m starting to freak out about it.

I live next to Saratoga Springs. I say the following in jest: “LOL you think the Catskills are Upstate!” People in Plattsburgh say to me: “LOL you think Saratoga is Upstate!”

Warriors and Nets are going to play without fans.

Thank you Mioz. MDs are required superhero effort right now in Italy (in Lombardy even more than that).

“Dude, I know people are not logging into KB for COVID info, ”

Of course i’m logging into KB for COVID info. This is my go to site for most topics, very informative on just about everything

Farfa:
Thank you Mioz. MDs are required superhero effort right now in Italy (in Lombardy even more than that).

Thank you farfa, I love to read your articles! I’m in veneto and it’s a little better here for now!

I really hope the won’t stop the nab, my fantasy team is one of the title favorites this year… (joking, but also not joking)

maybe just to share with somebody my irrational frank-love)

there is nothing irrational about love at all – especially love for our mister frank 🙂

it’s interesting to see how certain players (like a tacko fall or a boban) are able to generate so much fan interest despite maybe not being the best player on their team, or, even being in the starting unit…

whatever that “thing” is, frank’s got it…when watching the games played at msg it’s easy to notice how the garden crowd really pulls for the kid…

As for checking in to KB for latest COVID-19 news, and the school question, latest rumor is Seattle’s public schools will close tomorrow. Rumor, but from a good source.

And on that note, favorite line from Jimmy Fallon last night: “Harvard just announced they’re sending all their students home until further notice, and they’ll take classes online. Now if you meet someone who says they went to Harvard, you can be like, ‘Oh, that online college?’”

We are destined to get Lamelo i’m afraid.
Not a fan of him or the circus that accompanies him

third decree in 5 days from Italian president: now every commercial and many productive activities will be closed…, it’s a very strange feeling, like I think during the war, let’s see what happens!
I think also trump is going to speak today!

I think love is inherently irrational, with guys like frank, boban etc I think that has some kind of innate weirdness, underdog, hard working guy that you can really relate to and hope to also get to something in your life..

Closed schools for 14 days in Greece.
99 infected so far. Fortunately No deaths till now.
The whole country tho is highly alert and hands washing/antibacterial hankies are on fire.

There’s no actual proof that the virus is airborne. Let’s not spread fake-ish news.

Frank’s play/improvement is the most exciting/entertaining knicks thing right now for me.
I don’t give a shit about Wins or Losses.
Mitch is Mitch.
RJ has cooled off a bit.
Knox looks stagnant.
Miller’s starting unit is makin me suspicious about him.
So the most thrilling part of the remaining knicks games for me is to watch Frank makin the next step.

A Juventus player tested positive for it. Now we know it’s serious!

That’s a joke 😉

But i do find it funny how major crises get refracted through sports and celebrity. Like with the Mike Piazza home run or a million other examples.

Stay safe out there people…

Oh shit! Will do if Brian doesn’t
